Wondrous, an exhibition about our favourite mass murderer, Che Guevara:

"Che Guevara: Revolutionary and Icon"

There’s a row going on about whether Gerry Adams should go to the opening or not but that’s trivial as compared to the exhibition itself. I find it difficult to imagine that there would be an exhibition of the iconography of, say Amon Goethe, Eichmann or Dieter Wisliceny.  But then we know that murdering the bourgouisie is morally different from murdering anyone else.

Even if there were such an exhibition I doubt that even Gerry Adams would say this about it (despite the well known links between the IRA, De Valera and the Nazis):

Mr Adams said: "I think its stance is especially absurd given that this
particular exhibition is about an iconic revolutionary figure, with
family connections to Ireland, who fought against injustice and
oppression both in Cuba and in South America.

Mmmmm, can’t you just smell the righteousness there? Killing innocents for the right cause is just fine.

"On the basis of the current ‘reason’ offered by the Victoria &
Albert Museum of refusing to invite politicians, it would appear that
if Che was still alive he would be barred from his own exhibition. The
British Establishment works in wondrous ways."

If Che were still alive I would hope he were on trial for his crimes. He wouldn’t, for example, enjoy the immunity of his pal in murder, Castro, that being a Head of State offers. But then it’s true, the British Establishment does work in wondrous ways, as does the international one. Kill people for left wing causes and you’re on a million t-shirts, a hero. Kill people for right wing or racist ones and you rightly hang.
